Lamb Lies Down on Broadway ,The movie - The Lamia lyrics
rate me<br>
The scent grows richer, he knows he must be near,<br>
He finds a long passageway lit by chandelier.<br>
Each step he takes, the perfumes change<br>
From familiar fragrance to flavours strange.<br>
A magnificent chamber meets his eye.<br>
<br>
Inside, a long rose-water pool is shrouded by fine mist.<br>
Stepping in the moist silence, with a warm breeze hes gently kissed.<br>
<br>
Thinking he is quite alone,<br>
He enters the room, as if it were his own,<br>
But ripples on the sweet pink water<br>
Reveal some company unthought of-<br>
<br>
Rael stands astonished doubting his sight,<br>
Struck by beauty, gripped in fright;<br>
Three vermilion snakes of female face,<br>
The smallest motion, filled with grace.<br>
Muted melodies fill the echoing hall,<br>
But there is no sign of warning in the sirens call:<br>
Rael welcome, we are the Lamia of the pool.<br>
We have been waiting for our waters to bring you cool.<br>
<br>
Putting fear beside him, he trusts in beauty blind,<br>
He slips into the nectar, leaving his shredded clothes behind.<br>
With their tongues, they test, taste and judge all that is mine.<br>
They move in a series of caresses<br>
That glide up and down my spine.<br>
<br>
As they nibble the fruit of my flesh, I feel no pain,<br>
Only a magic that a name would stain.<br>
With the first drop of my blood in their veins<br>
Their faces are convulsed in mortal pains.<br>
The fairest cries, We all have loved you Rael.<br>
<br>
Each empty snakelike body floats,<br>
Silent sorrow in empty boats.<br>
A sickly sourness fills the room,<br>
The bitter harvest of a dying bloom.<br>
Looking for motion I know I will not find,<br>
I stroke the curls now turning pale, in which Id lain entwined<br>
O Lamia, your flesh that remains I will take as my food<br>
It is the scent of garlic that lingers on my choclate fingers.<br>
<br>
Looking behind me, the water turns icy blue,<br>
The lights are dimmed and once again the stage is set for you.<br>
<br>
